Putters are the club you’ll use more than any other. On a good day, over a third of your shots come with the flat stick in your hand. The right putter comes down to your stroke type and setup, not how it looks in the bag. Buying secondhand means you can try a premium putter without the new-retail price tag. Every putter we sell is graded using our own Club Grading Index, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Browse the range below to find your fit.

Choosing the right putter

Putter fit starts with your stroke, not the head shape. If your stroke has a natural arc, opening slightly on the way back and closing through impact then a toe-hang or blade-style putter tends to feel more natural, since the head is designed to rotate with that motion. If your stroke is straight-back-and-through, a face-balanced mallet putter is usually easier to keep on line, since the head resists twisting.

Head shape affects forgiveness as much as feel. Blade putters are compact, offer more feedback on strike quality, and suit players who already have a consistent, repeatable stroke. Mallets are larger, carry more weight further from the face, and are more forgiving of a slightly off-centre hit, a good choice if consistency is what you're working on.

Length and lie angle matter too. A putter that's too long or too short forces you into an unnatural posture, which throws off your aim before you've even taken the club back. Most players do best somewhere between 33" and 35", set up so your eyes sit over or just inside the ball at address.

New or secondhand?

Heres what changes.

A secondhand putter rolls the ball exactly the same as the same model bought new. The head design, weighting, and face technology don't change with a previous owner. What changes is cosmetic wear and grip condition, which is exactly what's worth checking before you buy, and exactly why every putter here is graded rather than just photographed and listed.

Buying secondhand, with confidence.

As with every club on Green Grade Golf, our putters are scored using our own Club Grading Index. Assessing the sole and back, face, shaft, and grip, each out of 10, for a total out of 40. That score maps to a clear quality tier: Pristine, Elite, Performer, or Reliable. Therefore you always know the condition before you buy.

Common questions

Should I get a blade or a mallet putter?

Blades suit players with an arcing stroke and a consistent, repeatable strike who want more feel. Mallets suit a straighter stroke and offer more forgiveness on off-centre hits. We have also produced an in detail blogs so head over there to get the full breakdown.

What length putter do I need?

Most players use a putter between 33" and 35", fitted so your eyes sit over or just inside the ball at your normal address position. However there are options for longer or shorter putter if you feel that suits your putting style.

Are secondhand putters as good as new ones?

Yes a well-graded secondhand putter performs identically to the same new model. Only cosmetic and grip wear differ, which is exactly what our Club Grading Index measures.
